I’m in Newmarket and mine is being processed in the St. Clair office.

Went to a place in Richmond Hill. Didn’t check around much, TBH. The police services facility wanted $105, so $70 seemed good. I was just happy to get it done quickly.

Yeah, I’ve thought about this as a real possibility as well, confused identity. Oh well. It’ll only be a week until they get the report from the RCMP, so I’m not going to lose sleep over it. More annoyed that I had to take the time to do it and spend the $70!

Didn’t do anything of the sort.

Just in case anyone is interested in the info, I called CIC and asked what about my application triggered this request. The letter references requirements of sections 21 and 22 of the Citizenship Act. Section 21 states that time spent incarcerated or on probation does not count towards residency...

Status is still IN PROCESS with the added note: 4. We sent you correspondence on December 5, 2017. If you have not yet provided the information or the requested documents, please do so as soon as possible. Please wait until you receive the correspondence before sending us additional...

Just to add as a status update, I received a request for fingerprints in the mail today. That'll make for a nice delay... I just wonder what triggers this sort of thing.

I agree that they would need to be sponsored as a resident first, then fulfill the requisite presence requirements before applying for citizenship. Also agree to check the CIC site.

How would you know if it's off-topic if you didn't read the whole of the post?? (It was on-topic, actually)

It would be her age at the date of application. If you have not submitted an application, then she is over 54, so no language requirement.

If the old card isn't expired, I think it would be fine.

From the CIC website: Your PR card can be used to show that you have permanent resident status in Canada. If you travel outside Canada, you will need to show your card and your passport when you come back on a commercial vehicle, like an airplane, boat, train or bus. PRs traveling outside...

Or it could be that two different agents are working on your files and your's just hasn't been seen yet. Too early to tell. If a couple more weeks pass, I'd be watching the mailbox.

Good point regarding boarding the plane back to Canada. However, it certainly is a chance to take when you're coming through Canadian Customs. Not sure where you live, but if you are close to the border, you could drive to the US, take your flight within the US, then drive back across the...

It really wouldn't surprise me to know that applications get held up when submitted with extraneous documentation. When dealing with any government agency, I only submit what is asked of me.

If there is a problem with the parent's application, the child application would need to be held up anyways, as it depends on the parent application, in some cases. I think if you have confidence in the application completion (as you should be if you're careful), I'm inclined to think you're...

I'm wondering this as well. You check the box that gives consent for them to seek info on you from CRA.

Also, there are very limited options as to where to have the PRTD processed. It's not done at all embassies. I believe only Washington, DC, New York, and Los Angeles embassies. You'll need to consider this in terms of mailing time as well.

Not only that but some airlines may deny boarding without proper travel documents. The PRTD takes some time to process and you have to send your passport with the request, IIRC. You may want to make sure that you'll get that back in time or at least be able to delay your return until you receive it.

Which is basically what I was saying. I don't think it applies to your parents as they were visiting, not making residence elsewhere. It should be noted in the presence calculation, though, as it was time spent outside of Canada.
